<tr> Element


Denotes a row in a table.HTML 3.2, 4, 4.01, 5

HTML Syntax

A <tr> element’s end tag can be omitted if the <tr> element is immediately followed by another <tr> element, or if there is no more content in the parent element.

Remarks

The <tr> element specifies a table row.

<tr> elements can only be used within a <table> element.

Each <tr> element can contain <th> elements, which indicate table headings, and <td> elements, which indicate the table data cells.

Although the HTML standard specifies that <tr> end tags are optional and may be omitted, it is safer to always close table rows, as not all browsers support this recommendation, and may produce unexpected results.

Attributes

The <tr> element has no attribute of its own, but supports global attributes common to all HTML elements.

Example

The following shows how the <tr> element may be used.

<table>
   <tr><th>This is the header row.</th></tr>
   <tr><td>This is the first row.</td></tr>
   <tr><td>This is the second row.</td></tr>
</table>
